New Safari on IOS8 on iPad air.

Hi. I just upgraded to IOS8 on my iPad air yesterday and wish I never bothered because the new Safari is ridiculously annoying to use. The address bar disappears when u scroll down and reappears when u scroll up. This is largely pointless to begin with but its a nice extra to let you use the whole screen, that's of course if it was practical and actually made browsing better.
You have to scroll far too far up to get the address bar and tabs back again. It's just so stupid why make people do that to change a tab. Why add that extra annoyance?
Also, when u zoom out on a page you are suddenly thrown into an odd windows where you can see all your open tabs. Why? Why would anyone want this? Not knowing anything about the feature I have closed tabs by simply not knowing what's happening.
This isn't related but I've been literally tortured with safari on ipad with tabs constantly refreshing which everyone has heard of and agree that it's very annoying. This just makes using safari a real chore.
If i was in charge of this and could sack people behind this I would sack them all. I love Apple software because it's so easy to use but no one seems to support that approach at apple any more.
Anyway im off to check safaris settings to see if I can disable these annoyances and get back to the easy to use safari. I cant check now because if I leave this page for a short while the oage will refresh and I'll have to type this all again lol. Dear goodness what is happening!
Rant over.

great solution skydiver--to say go find another browser. Hate to be mean about it, not your fault.
but apple screwed up on this one. acting more and more like MS and for example MS office which expands to do so much that only power users appreciate it.
I have had apples since 1982 and the 2e and this update pushed me over the edge.
I hate the keyboard and the new icon figure at the bottom, which if you have been typing for decades its easy to touch/swipe and change the keyboard.
do not like the pull down for books marks changing back to left side and function pull down swithching back to right side not that I am comfortable with the reverse change of 2 years ago.
and do not like the idea of the bookmark pulldown staying there and making screen smaller so an extra tap is required to close teh pull down. Whose idea was that?
as long as I am here, the new iphone--actually some people like a smartphone with the smaller screen that gives functionality in  small package that could easily fit in a shirt pocket or slacks. ANot everybody is searching for a one unit solution to everything. any larger and we need bigger restaurant tables to hold 4-6 computers.
done with my rant too--it appears many others wil wake up today and upgrade and be surprised.

  • Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs - + sign closes app

    Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs or view other tabs.
    The + sign just closes the app every single time!
    In some cases, the back and forward buttons don't work.
    It's driving me crazy becuase if the webpage I'm on opens and ad or tab that I don't want to look at, I can't close it and go back, I have to retype the web address in and find where I was on the site!

    I, too, tried all the fixes...nothing worked.
    Found another thread on this forum and looks like a lot of us are having same problem.
    Next time it happens, go to SETTINGS/GENERAL/ABOUT and check to see it there is a "low memory" incident report.
    If there is:
    See the discussion thread "iPad Air Low Memory Crashes".
    Seems to be common....this could turn into a HUGH issue.

  • HT4623 After updating it to ios8 my ipad air restart automatically

    Recently everybody has received the update to ios8, but after updating it to ios8 my ipad air automatically restart during working.

    Hi .
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • Sync safari bookmarks to an ipad air 2

    Hi, How do i sync my safari bookmarks to my iPad air 2?  I've checked in the
    info tab but, it does not have a bookmarks box?
    I have an iMac connected to my iPad air 2

    Howdy Mendez08am,
    It sounds like you are wanting to sync your Safari bookmarks between your computer and your iPad. I would use the troubleshooting from the followng article: 
    Get help using iCloud Bookmarks and Reading List
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Downloaded ios8 to iPad air. Now I can't download new or purchased apps. It seems to hang up each time and goes into waiting mode.

    NEw iPad air won't download apps after installing ios8. Hangs up in waiting mode

    This is still happening after a week. Kind of annoying to only be able to get updates through my PC.
    Here is the message I get on my iPad2:
    Sign in to the iTunes Store
    If you have an Apple ID, sign in with it here. AOL members can sign in using their AOL username and password.
    Cancel/Buy
    The Cancel/Buy are the two button choices. If I click cancel it cancels. If I click buy it shows the same message.
    Again, I'm already signed in, can buy and download new apps, but cannot download updates or previously purchased apps. Yes, I can download those two things through my PC, but would like a solution to this regardless.
    I've tried:
    -signing out and signing in
    -same thing, but powering down my ipad in between
    -same thing but also setting the date forward in between (heard this works for some people)
    I'm still thinking it will "fix itself" at some point, but who knows.

  • Ios8 on iPad air problems.

    1. Twice my iPad has gone blue screen on me and restarted.
    2. When I open safari, after that five finger closing app method does not work and I have to use the home screen button.
    3. There is unbelievable lag and when I push up to display all apps, sometimes the screen goes blank showing only my wallpaper.
    4. My cellular network doesn't work half the time too.
    5. Screen rotate doesn't work sometimes.
    is this because of the update since before that everything was perfectly fine. If so what do I do?

    I Too have had awful problems on my iPad Air after doing the IOS8 update, particularly in Safari with select&paste working incorrectly, the delete button only works after repeated attempts and the back button isnt working correctly.  I tried doing a factory reset and things were better for a while, but the problems have now resurfaced.  My iPad has gone from being a most useful machine to a piece of junk.
    i Was going to get an iPhone6, but Apple has shot itself in the foot with this update and I'm not going to waste my money

  • Safari tab auto-refresh (iPad Air iOS 7.0.4)

    When I have multiple tabs open on Safari and I switch from one tab to another, the tab that I'm switching to will reload, causing me to lose the spot I was at on the page. This is especially frustrating when I'm in the process of writing something on one tab then need to use another tab to search for a reference in regards to what I am writing on the previous tab and when I go back to the original tab, everything I had written is gone so I've had to select and copy what I can so I don't always lose all my work (in fact this happened twice while writing this post and I lost all text) but still always lose some of it since I can only save text from one section of a page, for example, I cannot save the title and the body of my post when creating a new thread.
    This is also very annoying when I'm trying to read news articles and I keep having to start at the beginning of the page and always have to scroll through the article to get back to where I was...
    This is basically making the whole browsing experience very unpleasant. Is there a fix for this? Please do help me if you know of one.

    Apple is getting worse and worse. I have the same problem with my iPad retina and I had the same problem with iPad 3 but not with iPad 2. Before to buy the iPad Air I checked in a store if they fixed this annoying problem but I saw they didn't, so I decided not to buy it anymore and actually I want to sell my iPad retina because the auto refresh is very annoying, I cannot use it to work! Apple is good for children to play but not to work. Next time I will buy a cheap chinese android tablet. Also the operating system is much worse than iOS6. Instead to lose their time (the engineers) for this dusguted transparent design that makes me nausea, they could work to fix all the problems the iPad has. It seems they worked hard to make a worse operating system, look at the task bar for example; Earlier there were the url task bar and google's task bar, now they put them together....it's ridiculous!!! If I want to go back to the google page I have to write everything from the beginnig, instead earlier it was sufficient going to the google's task bar and the last research would appeared.

  • Do I need a new Apple ID for my iPad Air?

    Hi!  I have a MacBook, OS 10.5.8.  I have just bought an iPad Air.  I know I can't synch the two devices, as my OS is too old, but do I need a new Apple ID in order to use itunes on the new iPad?  Thank you.

    Thank you, Niel.
    So ... will it not get confused if I buy an app for my iPad one day, and a song from itunes for my MacBook another?
    I am intending to keep the stuff in my itunes on my MacBook and still access it. 

  • Has anyone solved the Safari Crashing Issue on iPad Air

    I am using an iPad Air with iOS 7.0.4 and Safari continues to crash while I am scrolling. I have tried the suggested fix: clear history/cookies/data and then reset the iPad, but that did not fix the problem. I can consistently recreate the crash by doing the following:
    Clear the Safari history/cookies/data (Settings --> Safari)
    Reset the iPad (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for 10 seconds)
    Open Safari
    Open the url https://twitter.com/TimCookAppleCEO
    Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap the "Tap to load more tweets" button.
    Repeat Step # 5 three times
    Attempt to scroll to the top of the page by performing a finger swipe up
    Safari crashes (closes abruptly)

  • Can't share a link in safari through email on ipad air

    i am unable to share a link when I'm in safari using email in my iPad air. The email text box just disappears  

    I have your same issue, iPad air and iOS 8.3
    It was working till two days ago, but since then it's impossible to share anything from Safari
    When I choose the recipient or the recipients the email text box disappears
    It would be great to know how to reset Safari
    It works just fine on my iPhone and  my Mac but not on the iPad
    I tried everything, close safari, reset history and data, restart the ipad, restart holding both ipad buttons, the problem is still there
    If I try to share through Messages it works, just the Mail is not working

  • Safari keeps closing on iPad Air

    I have an IPad Air and Safari keeps closing with a variety of sites like Instagram tumblr publico....
    For instance try espn.com.br zoom in and out and it automatically closes up.
    Does anyone know why? Or if there is a solution?

    Closing indicates the Safari app is crashing for some reason.
    Try resetting the iPad.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    If that does not fix it, check Settings > General > Usage and make sure you have a reasonable amount of free space left on your iPad.
    You might try a restore if none of the above work.
